Ryan is a con­sum­mate sto­ry­teller. When­ev­er he told sto­ries of the place he grew up in, it was as if I was there myself. He grew up in Min­danao, one of the three main islands of the Philip­pines, in a place where life was idyl­lic and time moved slow­ly. His bar­rio (a term for a local com­mu­ni­ty) is like a Fara­day cage—there was no inter­net, no mobile phone sig­nals, no cable tv. Peo­ple actu­al­ly talked, and get to know each oth­er the old fash­ioned way. For fun, chil­dren still played …

you lost me once death had his way. i found you again the star guid­ing me home. a promise made for life with­out con­di­tions, i loved you in life­times past. you promised only to for­get. i remem­bered only to remain wait­ing for you to return and find with­in the mem­o­ry of us. the uni­verse speaks fate turns you brought your heart and i brought mine oh how our souls danced! our paths crossed at the appoint­ed time we met what did we for­get?

Trans­la­tion: I heard you now shup up. Fine Trans­la­tion: The true F word. Not even on the same plan­et as fine. What­ev­er Trans­la­tion: It’s beneath us to type the F word but …

A very Hap­py New Year!!! Thank God the hol­i­days are over! I was think­ing of writ­ing a New Year’s res­o­lu­tion (again!), and hope­ful­ly, stick­ing to it. This is rather late, but like they say, bet­ter late than nev­er! Blog more! A no brain­er! I obvi­ous­ly need bet­ter time man­age­ment. Be more tol­er­ant of idiots, and hop­ing this doesn’t encour­age them to take up more of my time. Extend my patience beyond kids and ani­mals. Trav­el more, domes­tic and inter­na­tion­al! Learn to hold back my tongue. I know, I need a …
